for the product is given below. Always follow the regulations in force in your country
regarding grounding antennas and masts. These installations must be carried out by an
authorised specialist.
▶
To prevent damages due to indirect lightning strikes (voltage spikes) cables, for example
for antenna, power source or modem should be protected with appropriate protection ele-
ments, like a lightning arrester. These installations must be carried out by an authorised
specialist.
▶
If there is a risk of a thunderstorm, or if the equipment is to remain unused and unatten-
ded for a long period, protect your product additionally by unplugging all systems compon-
